What is costing you most
Of the three things the score measures, this is the largest gap to the leader
You appear in 17.9% of relevant AI answers. bosch appears in 23.4%.
This is presence, not position — how often the models mention you at all when someone asks about this category. It is the single biggest driver of the score, and being absent cannot be compensated for by ranking well when you do appear.
Models repeat what the sources they read already say. Presence comes from being covered in the roundups, comparisons and retailer pages these models draw on — not from your own site alone. Start with the highest-demand topics where you are missing entirely.
This single gap accounts for roughly 100% of the difference between you and the leader.

You are absent from too many answers
Target the high-volume topics below where you are missing entirely. Presence comes from being covered by the sources these models read, not from your own site alone.
Your brand appears in only 18% of AI answers in this category. Reach is your weakest dimension, and it is the precondition for everything else — you cannot rank well in an answer that never mentions you.
